Usage

Basic

The simplest example requires you to wrap everything inside <ExpandableNavContainer> and your contents inside <ExpandableNavPage>. You have to also define the element that is going to be rendered when the navbar expanded and not expanded.

  var ExpandableNav = require('react-expandable-nav');

  // Or var ExpandableNavContainer = ExpandableNav.ExpandableNavContainer;
  var {ExpandableNavContainer, ExpandableNavbar, ExpandableNavHeader,
      ExpandableNavMenu, ExpandableNavMenuItem, ExpandableNavPage,
      ExpandableNavToggleButton} = ExpandableNav;

  var App = React.createClass({
    render() {
      var header = {
        small: <span className="logo">R</span>,
        full: <span>React</span>
      };
      var menuItems = {
        small: [<span className="glyphicon glyphicon-home"></span>, <span className="glyphicon glyphicon-user"></span>],
        full: [<span>Home</span>, <span>About us</span>, <span>Contact us</span>]
      };
      return (
        <ExpandableNavContainer>
          <ExpandableNavbar>
            <ExpandableNavHeader small={header.small} full={header.full} />
            <ExpandableNavMenu>
              <ExpandableNavMenuItem small={menuItems.small[0]} full={menuItems.full[0]} url='/home/' />
              <ExpandableNavMenuItem small={menuItems.small[1]} full={menuItems.full[1]} url='/about/' />
            </ExpandableNavMenu>
          </ExpandableNavbar>
          <ExpandableNavToggleButton />
          <ExpandableNavPage>
            <p>Hello world</p>
          </ExpandableNavPage>
        </ExpandableNavContainer>
      );
    }
  });

Advanced usage

You can substitute the default toggle button with your own:

  <ExpandableNavToggleButton small={<span>open</span>} full={<span>close</span>}/>

You can control the width of the navbar by specifying fullWidth and smallWidth attribute on ExpandableNavbar:

  <ExpandableNavContainer>
    <ExpandableNavbar fullWidth={300} smallWidth={60}>
      ...
    </ExpandableNavbar>
  </ExpandableNavContainer>

If you do that, you probably want to change the style as well. To do that, you can provide inline style.

  var navPageStyle = {
    full: {paddingLeft: 200},
    small: {paddingLeft: 30}
  };
  var navHeaderStyle = {
    full: {paddingLeft: 10},
    small: {paddingLeft: 5}
  };
  <ExpandableNavContainer>
    <ExpandableNavbar>
      <ExpandableNavHeader small={header.small} full={header.full} fullStyle={navHeaderStyle.full} smallStyle={navHeaderStyle.small} />
      ...
    </ExpandableNavbar>
    <ExpandableNavPage fullStyle={navPageStyle.full} smallStyle={navPageStyle.small}>
      ...
    </ExpandableNavPage>
  </ExpandableNavContainer>

Alternatively, you can specify the class and use CSS to set the style.

  <ExpandableNavContainer>
    <ExpandableNavbar fullClass={"full"} smallClass={"small"}>
      ...
    </ExpandableNavbar>
    <ExpandableNavPage fullClass={'full'} smallClass={'small'}>
      ...
    </ExpandableNavPage>
  </ExpandableNavContainer>

You can control the initial active URL by providing active={true} attribute on <ExpandableNavMenuItem>.

  <ExpandableNavMenu>
    <ExpandableNavMenuItem small={menuItems.small[0]} full={menuItems.full[0]} url='/home/' />
    <ExpandableNavMenuItem small={menuItems.small[1]} full={menuItems.full[1]} url='/about/' active={false} />

    // This element will have 'active' class when ExpandableNav is first rendered
    <ExpandableNavMenuItem small={menuItems.small[2]} full={menuItems.full[2]} url='/contact/' active={true} />
  </ExpandableNavMenu>

Tooltip

To use this function, you need to include jQuery and Bootstrap in your application. Firstly you have to trigger the tooltip by calling $('[data-toggle="menuitem-tooltip"]').tooltip(). Then you have to provide jQuery dependency to ExpandableNavMenuItem by passing jquery={$}. Assume jQuery is available globally, you can something like this:

var App = React.createClass({
  componentDidMount() {
    $('[data-toggle="menuitem-tooltip"]').tooltip();
  },
  render() {
    <ExpandableNavContainer>
      ...
      <ExpandableNavMenu>
        <ExpandableNavMenuItem small={menuItemsSmall[0]} full={menuItemsFull[0]} tooltip={"Home"} jquery={window.$} />
        ...
      </ExpandableNavMenu>
    </ExpandableNavContainer>
  }
});
